The son of jazz guitarist, Allen Morrison, Christopher Morrison began performing early on with New Haven, CT jazz organists Richard McCrae, Bobby Buster and Eddie Buster. The training he received while working with these men made a lasting impression on Chris. To this day, his playing and teaching style reflect the simple and practical approach that was used in his education.

Chris has recorded and or performed with Adam Nussbaum, Lew Soloff, John Patitucci, Joe Beck, Chip Jackson, Harvie S, Delfeayo Marsalis, Richie Cole, John Stowell, Gary Versace, Joe Diorio, Ron Affif and Ralph Lalama. In 2003 Chris released his debut CD, "The Christopher Morrison Quartet". The CD features pianist Robert Aries, bassist Chip Jackson and drummer Bob Leonard. Dr. Ken Ciuffreda of Just Jazz Guitar magazine writes, "Chris produces one of the most beautiful sounds I have ever heard coaxed out of a jazz guitar - great phrasing, perfect musicality, warmth and expression - all played effortlessly with seemingly unlimited technique."

Chris was fortunate to study with jazz guitarists Sal Salvador, Don Neary and Joe Diorio, arranger Bill Finegan and pianist Charlie Banacos. He holds a Masters of Music degree in Jazz Performance from the Conservatory of Music at SUNY Purchase. His undergraduate studies, Bachelor of Music in Jazz Studies, were completed at The University of Bridgeport and Western Connecticut State University.

Chris is employed by, Naugatuck Valley Community College, Fairfield University and Western Connecticut State University as a jazz guitar instructor. He has earned several awards for his teaching including a Distinguished Adjunct Appreciation Award and a Centennial Award for Excellence from Western Connecticut State University.
